| dc.description.abstract | Here we see women carrying boxes on their heads. This has been a custom from ancient times. Things from a pail full of water to produce are often carried on the heads of women in developing countries, even today. The postcard contains a cable message dated March 5th 1928 addressed to Mrs. A.C. Heublein, Hartford Connecticut. It was sent while the sender was sailing abroad the Hamburg American Line. | en |
